Welcome to my new blog! :) This is to keep my friends and family updated on my life as I prepare for and work on raising support to move to Black Forest Academy (BFA) in Kandern, Germany next year!
I've been accepted to serve as an Resident Assistant (RA) in one of the dorms at BFA. This means that I will live in a dorm with middle or high school students and assist the dorm parents in taking care of the students. I will be going as a missionary with TeachBeyond.
First, my journey so far...
- I went to a boarding school for high school at Dakar Academy, in Senegal. I had wonderful dorm parents and dorm sisters who made the experience a huge blessing in my life.
- My sophomore year at Cedarville University I served as a RA for my hall. During that year, Black Forest Academy sent an informational email to all of the RAs at Cedarville to tell them about the RA positions at BFA. I remember thinking what a cool job that would be. :)
- Last summer, I met a missionary who has served as an RA at Black Forest Academy last summer. She highly recommended it.
- In December of 2012, I filled out my application for BFA.
- I applied for TeachBeyond in January after meeting TeachBeyond missionaries at Cedarville's missions conference.
- TeachBeyond and BFA representatives interviewed me in early February.
- I was accepted at BFA on February 28, 2013, and TeachBeyond finalized their acceptance at that time as well!! :) ...I may have had a mini dance party in my room. =P
- Now... I need to raise support!! :) More on that later.
Thank you so much for your prayer and support. I feel very fortunate to have you all in my life!
Love, Sarah
